The Best Celebs To Follow On Instagram Stories

Last August,Instagram made social media waves when it introduced Instagram Stories, allowing users to post short videos that looked pretty similar to Snapchat's platform. It was only a short matter of time before celebrities started picking favorites and becoming pros on each of the platforms. So, if you like following along with famous faces in Hollywood, here are the best celebs to follow on Instagram stories.

While celebrities' Snapchat names can be really difficult to decipher, celebrities using Instagram stories need to use their Insta name when they post videos, and, more often than with Snapchat, celebrities Instagram handles are often just their first and last name.

I'll admit that I was a bit apprehensive to even entertain the idea of using Instagram Stories since I was such a big Snapchat fan, but it's really grown on me and that seems to be the case for many celebrities, too. In the end, there is not really a huge difference in the two, besides Snapchat filters, but if you want to up the breadth of your social media coverage, here are some the celebs on Instagram stories you should be following, if you aren't already.

Chrissy Teigen — @chrissyteigen

Teigen is hilarious on Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat and she has also jumped on the Stories bandwagon, giving insights into her adorable life with her husband, John Legend, and their daughter, Luna.

Tracee Ellis Ross — @traceeellisross

Ross is beautiful, inspiring, creative, and a breath of fresh air, and her Instagram is full of all the inspiring quotes and wisdom you need to get through the day.

The Rock's Instagram is full of cute and humble snaps from his days of on set and of his family, and by following his Stories, you might just catch him singing a sweet song. D'aww!

Ava Duvernay — @directher

OK, so the name rule was broken with director Ava Duvernay, who chose the uber clever "directher" for her Instagram handle. Duvernay recently filmed A Wrinkle in Timewith Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon and often posted updates from set. And since she's doing so many incredible projects right now, you will want to keep checking in.

Between Snapchat and Instagram, there's no reason to not keep up with all of your favorite celebrities.
